Toronto, Ontario – July 25, 2013
Energy Fuels Inc. (TSX : EFR) (OTCQX : EFRFF) (“Energy Fuels” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that Korea Electric Power Corporation (“KEPCO”) has signed two support agreements supporting Energy Fuels’ proposed acquisition of Strathmore Minerals Corp. (“Strathmore”) (TSX : STM) (OTCQX : STHJF). As was previously announced on June 11, 2013, Energy Fuels and Strathmore have entered into a definitive arrangement agreement whereby Energy Fuels will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Strathmore by way of a plan of arrangement (the “Transaction”). The shareholders of Energy Fuels and Strathmore will be asked to approve the Transaction at their special meetings to be held on August 13, 2013 and August 20, 2013, respectively.
KEPCO is the largest shareholder of both Energy Fuels and Strathmore, owning 8.5% and 11.7% of the common shares of each respective company. In addition, an affiliate of KEPCO is Energy Fuels largest uranium customer based on expected FY-2013 deliveries. KEPCO also has a right to enter into a joint venture with Strathmore on the Gas Hills Project in central Wyoming. Energy Fuels expects to evaluate potential synergies that might be realized by combining the Gas Hills Project with the Company’s Sheep Mountain Project, located only 28 miles away. Potential synergies include opportunities for savings through co-development capital and targeting a larger combined annual production profile in excess of the 1.5 million lbs. per year currently outlined in the Sheep Mountain Prefeasibility Study.
KEPCO is the largest electric utility in South Korea, involved in the generation, transmission and distribution of electric power. KEPCO is responsible for 93% of all of South Korea’s electricity generation. In addition, KEPCO operates and develops nuclear power projects in South Korea and worldwide.
As a result of signing the support agreements, KEPCO has irrevocably agreed to vote their shares of both companies in favour of the Transaction. In addition, each director and senior officer of both Energy Fuels and Strathmore have agreed to vote in favour of the Transaction.
Assuming the acquisition is completed, KEPCO will hold approximately 9.1% of the common shares of Energy Fuels. Upon completion of the Transaction, Energy Fuels will appoint a director, nominated by KEPCO, to join the Company’s board of directors.
Stephen P. Antony, President and CEO of Energy Fuels stated: “We are very pleased that KEPCO supports Energy Fuels’ acquisition of Strathmore. KEPCO is recognized as a world-leader in nuclear power development. We look forward to expanding our relationship with this high-quality organization.”
